Hey man, just checked your profile. Don't know if you're trolling or not but your profile shows you being in gold league. You should know that there are three main types of "clans": gaming communities which encourage casual gaming (probably your level), actual pro teams (the ones that get sponsors because they win big name tournaments), and clans that are somewhere in the middle. Like I said, you'd be better off finding a gaming community to join. No harm in starting your own, though, even if it's just a small group of friends. If you want to be taken seriously by complete strangers and get them to join your clan, though, you'll need some degree of professionalism and official-ness. A website helps.

Yo I'm interested in your clan I am a mid masters zerg I used to be a top masters zerg but then I took like a month off and played lots of team games so i'm fairly rusty at this time. Let me know what you think or if I need to try out or whatever or if you want me to provide replays or just let me know, ty. If we want sponsors we need to make some team shirts with sponsor names on it then after we get popular they will give us money. I made a mockup of what our shirt should look like, I used Deadpool as our mascot because hes my favorite superhero and we can have a man in a Deadpool costume at our events cheering for us. Here what do you think?

It doesn't seem like you've given this much thought.

Best. Team. Shirt. Ever.


I wish Tampax was more into esports, they are really missing an opportunity here.

Matt please don't refer to our mascot as Wade "expletive" Wilson, now that we are forming a professional team we have to be professional and can't use that sort of language associated with our team/mascots/tshirts.

The best troll ever.

Edit to the OP: Unless your top tier players that get a lot of exposure at events that have a lot of viewers, your not going to get sponsors. Sponsors care about the amount of viewers that their product will receive and a few guys who practice together receive no viewers.

Sorry man : / I'd suggest getting good (i.e. top masters), doing well at an MLG or online qualifier for a tournament like NASL or something, and then trying to make a case to a team or sponsor. Very few get paid in this scene, just like any other sport, most of us will do this just for enjoyment. glgl in your search though, brother.

First you need to get some top players to play for your team. You should do this by messaging them on bnet. Don't be afraid to message them in game, they wont mind, your giving them a great opportunity to join a sweet clan.

I think our being a tad optimistic. I'd be pretty annoyed if some random messaged and was like "bro, join my clan. it's sweet I promise!"

Yeah making a clan is great, but posting on a public forum going: Who wants to join me?!
That's just not going to work.

Ever.
